We passed upon the stairs,
We spoke of was and when
Although I wasnt there
He said I was his friend
Which came as a surprise
I spoke into his eyes -- I thought you died alone
A long long time ago

"Who's the man who hired all the criminals?
The white house shadows who hide behind closed doors
They bend the facts to fit with their new story
Of why we had to send our men to war"

"Never ever wanted to be with you
All you ever gave me was the boredom I suffocate in
Adrift in cheap dreams don't stop the rain
Numbed out in p_iss towns just wanna dig their graves"
Pay my respects to grace and virtue
Send my condolences to good
Give my regards to soul and romance,
They always did the best they could
And so long to devotion
You taught me everything I know
Wave goodbye
Wish me well..
You've gotta let me go

That's Human by the Killers (and it's denser, not dancers!)
Optimist's is that Neil Young one, Impeach the President or something like that.
Don't know centre_mid's one so will leave it to whoever gets that to post a new one.

Dedicated to all those who suffered at the hands of the 'church' in collusion with the State, corrupt politicians and faceless shameful public servants:
Ring them bells for the blind and the deaf,
Ring them bells for all of us who are left,
Ring them bells for the chosen few
Who will judge the many when the game is through.
Ring them bells, for the time that flies,
For the child that cries
When innocence dies.

He may of covered it (I'm not sure) but not the artist who wrote it and originally performed it.Quote:

Everybody knows that you love me baby
Everybody knows that you really do
Everybody knows that you've been faithful
Ah give or take a night or two
Everybody knows you've been discreet
But there were so many people you just had to meet
Without your clothes
And everybody knows
Hats Off To Larry
He broke your heart
Just like you broke mine
When you said we must part
He told you lies, Now it's your turn to cry cry cry
Now that Larrys said goodbye to you
Hats Off To Larry
He broke your heart
Just like you broke mine
When you said we must part
He told you lies, Now it's your turn to cry cry cry
Now that Larrys said goodbye to you

" There's a black wind blowing
a typhoon on the rise
pummeling rain murderous skies"

nope not the one i was looking for :D
I think we're going to have to introduce some rules here young lady. :p
If someone gets the original (or a more definitive version!) of the song you gotta let them have it.
Anyway, Optimist's is another cracking tune, Medicine Bow by the Waterboys.
Short one now, from a similar era though. My era! :o
"I could lose myself in this honesty"
I think we're going to have to introduce some rules here young lady. :p
Stann nope not happening :p
answer to yours, Mick Jones?????:D
Haha a loose cannon, eh? :DQuote:

If it's any help, the line is the chorus of the song. And for years I thought it was 'odyssey' not 'honesty'!
Another clue?? :) Please!!Quote:

So, other clues... it's way before your time (I think). :)
And the initials of song and band are all 'C's.
Go on, that's surely enough! :D
China Crisis Christian??? :p
Bingo! Haha knew it was too easy! :D
How's about this little gem?
Years ago I was an angry young man
I'd pretend that I was a billboard
Standing tall by the side of the road
I fell in love with a beautiful highway

Haha, don't know the song, but I bet I can name the band! ;) :D
Hey guys try this one!! :D
in the dark of the night
i can hear you calling my name
with the hardest of hearts
i still feel full of pain

Marshal Tucker "Cant you See"???
When you were here before,
couldn't look you in the eye.
You're just like an angel,
your skin makes me cry.
You float like a feather,
in a beautiful world
Creep - Radiohead.
try this
Sometimes I wake up in the morning
The ginger lady by my bed
Covered in a cloak of silence
I hear you talking in my head
I'm not singing for the future
I'm not dreaming of the past
I'm not talking of the fist time
I never think about the last

No offence meant! I still haven't checked out any Trash Can Sinatras actually, still on the to-do list.
No idea of the other lyrics either, but Optimist's is Five Years by David Bowie / Ziggy Stardust. So I'll use that to give me the imprimatur to go:
"You made a believer out of me"
And it's not Primal Scream as the next word is 'babe'. :)
(damn, had a brilliant obscure one there, but am not 100% sure of the lyrics as I haven't heard the song in about 15 years! :D)
